State laws for truancy, dropouts vary greatly

States have struggled with the issues of truancy and high-school dropouts for many years, trying to weave regulations and compulsory education laws that will increase the number of youths who graduate from high school.But the result of their attempts is a wide array of different policies.How long teen-agers must stay in school varies, with 29 states allowing students to drop out at age 16, seven states ending compulsory instruction at age 17 and 14 states plus the District of Columbia requiring students to stay in class until at least their 18th birthday.When young children must begin their schooling also varies, from as young as 5 years of age in eight states and the District of Columbia to as old as 8 in Pennsylvania and Washington state.As a result, required school attendance ranges from a total of nine years in 11 states to 13 years in four states and the District of Columbia, according to the Denver-based Education Commission of the States."For the most part, compulsory attendance laws do not specify the number of times a student must be truant before sanctions are enforced," concluded commission researcher Kyle Zinth in a study released in 2005.But 19 states set mandatory guidelines for when school authorities or police are supposed to intervene for truant students.Arizona had the nation's lowest public-school attendance rate -- 82.6 percent for all grades -- in a 2003 U.S. Department of Education study. It also has one of the most stringent definitions of truancy, saying it's an unexcused absence "for at least one class period during the school day." Arizona students are declared to be "habitually truant" after missing at least five school days within a year.Students who are excused because of illness will not be automatically declared truant in Arizona.At the other end of the spectrum are Illinois, which says a child is habitually truant after missing 10 percent of the school year's 180 days, and Connecticut, which requires remediation if a child misses 20 days.(E-mail Thomas Hargrove at hargrovet(at)shns.com.

States changing their school attendance laws

Interesting article about the link between attendance and truancy laws. New Jersey's Assembly just passing a bill to raise the mandatory attendance age to 18 and similar efforts have been seen this year in other states. An interactive map of the various states' compulsory attendance laws, with links to the laws themselves, can be found here.

RE: Skippin School

Hey "Somebody" - guess what - we DID go to school - and because we did we have succeeded in life, and understand why it is important. You, however, have not learned anything about history and are therefore condemned to repeat it - you and all the other drop-outs since the 60's, making the same mistake over and over and over again. Do you know the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing again and expecting different results. So here’s a free lesson for you - Next time try speaking your mind without swearing – people might listen.

statistics

Currently, half of all high school students will drop out before being able to complete their official term at a traditional high school. Many will just decide to work while others may consider getting their GED as a shorter route that can give them the flexibility they need to move on with life. Many assume they can take the GED online through distance learning programs or other online tests. This can't be done. Although the GED may be a shorter amount of time needed to pass, it is accepted by 99% of colleges and businesses.

The children of today are

The children of today are giving us some clear information. We have to change the way we are "educating " many of our cildren. If not, they are not going to attend. All children enjoy learning but what we call school does not work for many. "One size does not fit all".

Schooling

I totally agree. I also think school is more important for discipline as well as education. Even the education standards, facilities and levels are improving, children don't seem to have much discipline compared to when we were children.
